Murdoch's Fox Buys National Geographic Magazine 
------------------------------------------------


 
The nonprofit National Geographic Society has sold its flagship magazine
and other media assets to Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox for $725
million. The deal will turn the nonprofit magazine into a commercial
operation. Rupert Murdoch has long come under fire for denying the
impact of human activity on climate change. A study published in 2014 by
the Union of Concerned Scientists argued more than 70 percent of Fox's
climate change coverage was "misleading."
